					<description><![CDATA[The real disappointment is you - Daphe Caruana Galizia.  You being an anti-Labour perverts the fundamental ideas of socialism where most of the help is needed.  You are one of the persons in Malta who couldn&#039;t care less about those in need.

Personally I figure you as an anti-Maltese and your main concern is to discredit the Labour Party with no heart felt cristism.  You are not the only person who can write English and the time is ripe for you to vanish from the scene and pose as an archangle to the Nationalist administration.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m really beginning to think this pancrazio guy is a fake - can you really be this stupid? Talk about &#039;new Labour progressives&#039; shooting themselves in the foot.

What &#039;hell&#039; are we living in? Have you ever seen (unbiased) statistics, published by Eurostat? (nothing to do with GoNziPn, might I add).

Let me make it easy - in 2009, we placed 8th (out of 27) with our deficit to GDP ratio

Our debt (or depth, as you like to put it) as a percentage of GDP is almost  HALF that of Italy or Greece (around 65% vs. 120%).

Our GDP per capita (i.e. our wealth on average) has actually increased in 2010, when many other Europeans have seen their wealth fall.

Some countries are having to freeze wages. Can you imagine that here in Malta? I shudder to think what Tony Zarb would have to resort to then.

Thank your lucky stars that we have escaped virtually unscathed by the WORST economic crisis since 1929. We still got our beloved COLAs (what a farce), most people kept their jobs, more money was made on the whole, and income tax and VAT stayed as they were. There was no mass-firing from gov. departments and there was no need to allocate our taxes to bail out the banks.

Please, visit http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_PUBLIC/2-22102010-AP/EN/2-22102010-AP-EN.PDF
and see for yourself.

Admittedly, it is not the-real-budget-2010-viva-l-labour.com but it&#039;s almost as credible.]]></description>

Oops typo; &quot;seven months suspension&quot; to read &quot; seven weeks suspension&quot;.
500 million in the bank and no water in our tanks, electricity outages galore, no computers, no telephone lines available, obsolete Strowger telephone exchanges which not even third world countries would accept as a donation, Mintoff fiddling with the country&#039;s foreign exchange reserves from the House of the Four Winds and failing at a Soros-type speculation with a whopping LM90 million loss, Denis Sammut as Executive Director at BOV imma it-tonn taz&#039;zejt naqas b&#039;hames millezmi !
U hallina pancrazio !]]></description>

Weren&#039;t votes for women introduced in 1947 or thereabouts?

My everlasting memory from the 70s is seven months suspension from my workplace for taking sympathy industrial action in the summer of 1977 and being threatened with calling in of mortgages, all employees being declared redundant (except those who had not participated) and amalgamation of banks with a new call for applications for the chosen few.

Yes those were the days, my friend.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne,

Your comments are again a classic example of showing how biased you are against the Labour Party irrespecdtive of whether the present administration is harmful to the nationa or otherwise.  In biref, you are more concerned to discerdit the Labour Party rather than be rational and feel the suffering of people already in the poverty line (if not under).  You should be more concerned in honouring your religious beliefs, if you have any, and stop being a nuisence to whoever tries to oppose the Goverment.  If you are securetly being nurished by the Nationalist Party to give a helping hand you should say so becoause you are truley a boring figure to the Maltese Nation.]]></description>

The other awful thing with that calculator is that it fails to calculate how much you&#039;re worse off on alcohol and tobacco now.  Guess the Monday binging youth would have been mildly interested. Shame they did not of think of that, on second thoughts, given the quality of alcohol some bars dare serve.]]></description>
